The console should be more verbose than that. Instead of CMakeLists.txt, a more interesting output is tossed into a CMakeOutput.log, usually noted on the output of cmake.

Some knee jerk answers are:
* Be sure CMake is as new as possible.
* Be sure Visual Studio's compiler is properly installed. - When you installed Visual Studio 201#, did you install the Visual C++ compilers? It's not enabled by default. Go to Add or Remove programs and try Repairing/Modifying it to make sure Visual C++ is included.
* CMake may need to be reinstalled. There is speculation it may need to be the same directory as your project, however, this is highly likely not the case.
* I'm assuming this is in windows? Not that the above hugely changes minus the visual studio requirement.

There really should be more verbose errors in the console on bottom of the cmake gui than just the message box, and likely will give more detail.
